Hackney A Day in the Neighbourhood

This short documentary takes you on a journey to Hackney Carnival, the final one held before the pandemic, capturing the vibrancy and spirit of this beloved community event. As the festival draws to a close, we explore the thoughts and reflections of both locals and visitors on Hackney's revitalisation and what they hold dear about the area.

Despite Hackney’s sometimes challenging reputation, the neighbourhood boasts a rich and often overlooked cultural history, cherished by many who call it home. For some, living in Hackney is a dream come true, with its thriving arts scene and laid-back atmosphere catering to a wide range of interests.

Through the voices of Hackney residents, this documentary uncovers the essence of one of London’s most iconic boroughs. Nestled in East London, Hackney is celebrated for its cultural diversity and deep-rooted historical significance. What do its people have to say about this vibrant area, and what makes Hackney such a special place in their hearts?

Discover the hidden stories and enduring charm of Hackney in this heartfelt tribute to one of London’s most dynamic communities.

It is a collaborative effort with Durul Gur and Seref Ozdemir, who aim to capture the liveliness of this exceptional corner of London on celluloid.

The additional song: 'Hackney' by Miroslav Morski The sound was mixed by Sahan Satis.
Posters by Boray Tarhan, Titles by Seref Ozdemir.

Special thanks to Hackney's residents and people for participating in this project and making the footage possible.
